This board came from MCS yesterday. It is new experience for me (my first Intel mobo and my first atom CPU), it went as well as could be expected. Pros: Everything seems to be working well in a standard mid-tower case with a standard ATX psu. It boots from dvd, usb drive, or hd. I have it running Knoppix 6.7.1 linux from the usb drive now and it is amazingly quiet and cool.The electric rates are $.45/kwh here so the low poweris a real plus. Cons:The Intel bios took a bit of getting used to. I wish it had a hard-copy user manual...PITA to bring up the docs on different box while trying to get it all plugged in right and running. A few more SATA ports would be nice. An HDMI port would be nice...but I am currently running a VGA LCD so the legacy support is nice. Everything seems to run pretty well out of the box but when I ran my Debian Squeeze Linux on my HD, I had to change the xorg.conf file to "vesa" to get it to work. Still happily exploring!

So far working good. Win7 Ratings uP 3.8, Mem 5.2, Graphics 5.9, 3D 3.2. Graphics 3650 Drivers only works with WIN 7. Installing the driver in Vista OS, produces black screen at boot (recover by safe mode and deleting the driver). Ratings Ubuntu 10.4 loads, but installing the .mov codecs slows Ubuntu graphics to a crawl..
